Ok, the picture isn't great. Last summer my house was broken into twice, both my laptops were stolen along with the data/charging cord for my camera (but they didn't steal my camera *nuts*) So I'm having to use my DBF's camera which I haven't got the hang of yet.
Anyway... these are a selection of ornaments I've made over the last couple of months. A couple (far left) are the pattern by Jamie Cloud Eakins... the others are my own designs as far as I know :D.
I'm going to be giving most of these away as gifts, since this is a slim year for ye old pocketbook.
YAY for handmade gifts! And those are gorgeous, Nicole! Can't pick a fav.
Those are b-e-a-utiful! My fave is the third from the left!
This is the best kind of gift- your recipients will pull them out each year to use them and will think of you :)

Nicole - these are really really lovely. I know whoever receives them will love them. I know what you mean about a slim pocketbook this year. I have one more craft show to do this Saturday and then will go through the balance of my inventory to decide what I am giving as gifts for some of the ladies on my list or if I need to make something "new" for specific people. I still have a few orders from fiends for Christmas gifts, so I need to finish those as well. Most everyone knows they will be getting jewelry from me as gifts. My mother-in-law asked me yesterday if I could make some Christmas earrings for her to give as gifts to some of her friends and the aides at the retirement home she lives in. Again, after Saturday I will see what I have left and if I need to make more...she wants 10 pairs of "assorted" Christmas earrings. Not nearly as fun as your ornaments. I especially love the blue one on the end. Beautiful work.

Thanks! I think my favorite is actually the blue one third from the right... .I like the star insets. LOL. The two on the far right were definitely the most "involved" and took the longest amount of time to do especially since Im not a big fan of doing odd-count peyote... until... I found an article here on BD describing an alternate method of the odd-count turn which I really like!
The first one I did was the large ornament and I liked it, but I've found I like the 3" ball more than the larger 5"... I bought these ornaments after christmas like 3 years ago and I finally dug in to cover them this year. LOL. They were a little dusty, but worth the wait... I'm glad I didn't throw them away. LOL.
I have to make a couple more before the holiday, but in my ambitious mind I think I can do it. :D
They are so nice and dangley (dont know if I spelled that right)... and I hope that bad things happen to the people who broke into your house :)
"Dream Big"
Nicole, those are gorgeousssssss! I love all of them... lucky recipients!
Wow, those are gorgeous!! Have to say my favorite is the one in the middle!!
My OH has tried to talk me into making some of these for his mother. Have it on my list to try next year, and these look so nice to make me think i can try.
Hi Kristy!
The first two weren't that hard to do. I followed a pattern by Jamie Cloud Eakin which was in the October 2010 issue of Beadwork Mag. (correct me if I'm wrong though anyone, but I'm pretty sure it was Beadwork).
It's not at all difficult when you follow the instructions! And they're very pretty I think! Some of the nicer ornament covers I've seen over the years!
Give it a shot! I think you'll be happy!
AnnM@94: They are so nice and dangley (dont know if I spelled that right)... and I hope that bad things happen to the people who broke into your house :)
We believe the people who broke in and took my laptops and a couple of ofter things (including my 42" LCD TV) were arrested last month. Unfortunately, they no longer had my belongings. It really made me mad, because they took stuff that was basically worthless to anyone but ME. The laptops were older but in good working condition, so no pawn shop or craigs list buyer would have given them more than $50 for 'em if that, and the TV... pfffft, they only got half of it if that makes any sense. Basically it was a model that had a removable mother board on the back which all the jacks plugged into... when they took it, that piece fell off which rendered the TV garbage. You can't replace that piece, and without out it was just a hunk of glass and plastic. It worked great for ME, it was older, but useless to anyone else. They didn't even take enough stuff to make it worth reporting to insurance.
They also took a 1/4 bottle of vodka... CHEAP vodka I use for cooking, but the morons left over $1000 worth of top shelf wine, sitting on my dining room table, packed up in NICE boxes with carry handles (if they'd taken that, I would have been able to make a claim and replaced my laptop!) I get the wine for free from my bro-in-law. Whatever. Crooks are really really stupid. They even moved all my boxes of gemstones and Swarks OFF the top of my laptop... THOSE were worth more than the darned laptops!
*sigh* Mean people suck. I still hven't been able to replace my TV and computers. But, I have one laptop left, it kind of works... so I'm just going to count my blessings that they didn't hurt my doggy, or me, or anyone I love. Stuff can always eventually be replaced.
Love the ornaments!
I suppose at least you had the last laugh in a way since they didn't get the things that were really worth anything, and now they're in jail (insert evil laugh). Years ago my car got broken into and I was so mad because they broke a window to get in which I had to pay to replace. They stole my radio which was...broken, ha ha!

I love the purple-ish ones! And the blue one with the snowflakes (or stars?)
I think my cat would enjoy the "dangly" part too much though lol.
And criminals are dumb. We had an idiot breaking into apartments, stealing stuff (like dvds and cds) then TAKING THE STUFF BACK when he couldn't pawn it No kidding! And putting it back right where it had been. He tried to break in to my place one afternoon not counting on the fact that I was home with a cold. Stopped him before he could get all the way into the apt. The barrel of a .45 pointed about a foot from your face would stop you too! He ran off. The police caught him about 2 weeks later when he broke back into an apartment that had been vacated by the people that he stole from and got pinned down in the bathroom by the Maintenance lady with a screwdriver until the police came. Served him right.
Now back to looking at Nicole's pretties.

WOW those are beautiful - I'm just learning how to make those gems - i'm so totally addicted
Just can't seem to find enough hours in a day to do any at the moment. Always next year in the new year to start
Those are beautieful! And now I know what to make my aunts for Christmas, thank you so much for sharing!
Jocelyn aka Jp
Definitely love the 2 on the far right. Awesome job girl! And even though it was a horrible experience having your home broken into, I had to laugh at your wonderfully dry descriptions!
Have a blessed day!

A Cave Creek man known as one of "The Untouchables" from a notorious East Coast auto theft ring was sentenced to 7.2 years of federal prison on Friday for stealing more than $400,000 in recreational vehicles and burning a car after drenching it with gasoline, according to the Arizona Attorney General's Office.
Raymond Merolle, 42, was found guilty of two counts of theft and one count of arson in January, the office announced.
Merolle was convicted from DNA evidence of the theft of a 38-foot cigarette boat and recreational vehicles valued at more than $400,000. The arson charge stemmed from a car that belonged to his ex-girlfriend that Merolle drenched with gasoline and burned before abandoning it in a desert wash at 54th Avenue and Union Hills Drive in northwest Phoenix, the office said.
Merolle was the head of an auto theft and "chop shop" ring based in New York and New Jersey known as the "Untouchables" and testified at a New York murder trial that his ring had been responsible for the theft of more than $1 million in cars.

So here comes the time for another public release of the (cute) FluidSynth
Qt Interface: Qsynth 0.2.5 is out!Just as one can read from the change log:
- New dial-knob behavior now follows mouse pointer angular position,
almost similar to old QDial, but this time avoiding that nasty and rather
abrupt change on first mouse click.- By simple use of widget subclassing, the value/position of any dial knob
can now be reset to its default or original position at any time, by
simply pressing the mouse mid-button. These default value positions are
just committed to current dial values when switching engines and/or
closing the application.- Optional specification of alternate fluidsynth installation path has
been added to configure command arguments (--with-fluidsynth).- After some source code tweaks, a win32 build is now possible
(instructions will be provided on demand :)- Bank offset finally gets its due effect, while on the channels and
channel preset selection dialogs. Regretfully, the soundfont bank offset
feature has been lurking ever since its inception, but now its live and
hopefully effective.- A new fancy widget has arrived, qsynthKnob, with some modifications to
replace the actual *ugly* QDial widgets in the main window. This widget is
based on a design by Thorsten Wilms, formerly implemented by Chris Cannam
in Rosegarden, and finally adapted and brought to Qsynth by Pedro
Lopez-Cabanillas. Thankyou all.Available from the usual places:

Music artist Afrika Pseudobruitismus created the Aerodisney video for the song with the same name that evokes Disney music with a dark twist off of his album Albedo.
Destruction and chaos ensues as the wonderful world of Disney gets shot at by Tom Cruise from Top Gun, with overlaying images of different childhood characters and scenes of explosions and fire. A collage-like video style focuses on the darker aspects of these childhood fairytales, with beloved characters such as Snow White, Bambi and Dumbo fighting and fleeing for their lives. The bittersweet ending is simultaneously triumphant and sorrowful, like the ending of a true war.
This dark Disney music video is a nostalgic take on action movies.

This year will be the first time I try to grow elderberries. I remember as a kid having elderberry jam and a bit later on in life making elderberry and muscadine wines but have never really thought about intentionally growing the plants myself, because so many came up wild alongside of railroad tracks and ditches.
Now, I see that there are many named varieties out there and really wanted to see how well they'd do compared to wild ones, with some TLC. First, I took two elderberry plants from the wild, in separate places so that they would be genetically different. Then, I recently decided to order these varieties: John, adams, nova, thundercloud, variegated, nova, black beauty, and korso, along with two genetically different blue elderberry seedlings from the pacific northwest. These are a mix of PNW blue, American, and European elderberries I believe. I've also noticed that there are some other varieties out there, like: allesso, black lace, goldbeere, haschberg, sambal, emerald lace, and guincho purple. Goldbeere is apparently the only one that has gold berries. What's everyone's opinion on growing your own elderberries? |

I love growing my own elderberries. The cultivated varieties that I grow are tastier than the wild ones around here. I still harvest wild berries for wine making. Sounds like you'll have quite the patch when it all gets going! Good Luck, |

We grow our own elderberries too. Elderflowers and elderberries are yummy. You can make elderflower fritters. Elderflower tea is great if you have a fever. Elderberries make terrific syrup, jelly and pie. Can't imagine going through cold and flu season without elderberry syrup. Remember that elderberry seeds have a, well, laxative effect. In syrup and jelly, the seeds are strained out. In pie, whole berry is used. One slice of pie = good. Two slices of pie = good + library time. |
Does anyone know how well the European varieties will do in Florida? |
I would caution you about caerula to try to keep it in check. Mine grew very tall and the wood is very weak, so when the big snowstorm hit in 2008 many tall branches broke off in a circle all around. The berries got too far up to pick, too. It does attract the magnificent Pileated Woodpecker, though- Woody Woodpecker. York has been very slow growing and has nice berries but not very many. The ones developed for leaves apparently need coddling and have not been good for berries either, if not given a lot of water and fertilizer. |

ICC Test rankings |
South Africa's batsmen have surged up the ICC Test rankings to occupy four of the top six spots after their colossal performance in the first Test at The Oval. Jacques Kallis is at No. 2, Hashim Amla (3), AB de Villiers (5) and Graeme Smith (6). Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara remained No. 1, while Shivnarine Chanderpaul dropped two spots to No. 4. Kallis also unseated Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan as the No. 1 allrounder in Tests.
Kallis' unbeaten 182 in South Africa's 637 for 2 moved him up from No. 4 in the ranking for Test batsmen. Amla, whose 311 was a South African record, rose three places while Smith climbed four places from tenth. De Villiers, who did not get an opportunity to bat in the innings-and-12-run victory, dropped two spots from third.
Among the England batsmen, Alastair Cook moved from ninth to eighth because of the 115 he scored in the first innings at The Oval.
There were significant gains for South Africa's bowlers as well after they took 20 wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the three-Test series. Dale Steyn, who took seven wickets in the match, consolidated his place at No. 1 and is six points short of his career best rating - 902, which he achieved against Sri Lanka at SuperSport Park in 2011.
Morne Morkel's five wickets lifted him from tenth to joint sixth with Australia's Ben Hilfenhaus, while Vernon Philander rose one spot to fourth place.
All of England's bowlers, who took only two wickets in 189 overs, dropped in the rankings. James Anderson went from No. 2 to No. 5, Stuart Broad from third to ninth and Tim Bresnan slid one place to No. 15. Graeme Swann's wicketless performance cost him three places from No. 8 and he dropped out of the top ten for the first time since August 2009.
South Africa need to win the series by any margin to take the No. 1 Test ranking from England.

What the Raid Finder's success means for the future of accessible content {WoW}
Dec 21st 2011 9:42PM I LOVE the LFR for so many reasons. Better then doing heroics for Valor, helps in gaining experience for new/first time raiders. Helps with strategies for the real raid.
Still, there should be a reward for doing the boss on normal, then on hardmode. A normal mode boss, and a hard mode boss. Think Algalon/Sinestra. Much like doing dailies, collecting pets etc people who put more time and effort into the game get to see things others don't.
Remember, blizz does not make content for EVERYONE to see. Don't believe me? rogue only legendary quest? Battered hilt? There is plenty of content that only a few get to see. yet only when it comes to raiding do I hear players QQ about having everyone see everything.

Know Your Lore: Lady Liadrin {WoW}
Dec 21st 2011 4:15PM I always wanted to be a paladin, I almost ALMOST went alliance to roll a pally but in the end I decided it would not be worth it. When I found out that the horde were getting paladins I was pretty happy.
Then I began to level. I remember when I first had to mana tap M'uru, I recall the quest where you had to defeat the 4 champions. The quest that stood out the most was the one where you went to the blacksmith trainer to get your blood knight weapon forged. At this point it has been pretty well established that you became a Blood Knight our of desperation. Your people were all but dead, the scourge was still in your back yard. The blood elves were hanging on by a thread and in the darkest hour of your people, you took it upon yourself to carry any burden needed for the sake of survival. I could understand the bitterness, the pride and the determination to save your people at all costs.
So during the forging of your weapon in the quest, Some citizens whisper how what your doing is wrong and vile. The blacksmith hears it and tells you not to mind them, that they do not understand your burden and how your sacrifice is done for them. How it is easy the actions of others when your safe, even if its those actions that make you safe.That is when I fell in love with the blood elves, and Blood Knights even more.
Then came patch 2.4 and regardless of how great the content was, the lore ruined blood elves for the rest of the game. It killed the only real faction leader we had while not putting in place anyone to replace him. It changed the blood knights from a fierce and proud group who defend there people regardless of anything else into a band of emo kids who had there enemies save and "redeem" them.
I USED to love Lady Liadrin, before 2.4, now I hope she fades away. The Blood Elves need someone like Tae'thelan Bloodwatcher. Someone to bring back the blood elves as a strong and proud force that puts its own interests first.
Blood Elves used to be kick ass, now they are pussies and need to go back to there bad ass roots.

Raid Finder vs. Normals: The Siege of Wyrmrest Temple {WoW}
Dec 20th 2011 4:37PM Molten front Dailies /sigh
I hate them. I really do. However I want to buy some of the pets and goodies the vendors sell. Should I be allowed to buy those without putting in the time to do the dailies? I don't think so. I have not done the dailies and therefor I do not have the pets. I don't feel cheated, I don't think Blizzard should make it so I only have to do the dailies once each and then let me buy the pets. No it would not be right.
That is the mentality I have with the bosses. Sure i would most likely see the normal mode boss and miss the hard mode boss, but so what? If I wanted to put in the time and effort to see the hard mode boss I am sure I could. I simply can not and would not put the time needed to be a hard mode raider. However, I believe people who put in more time and effort in to raiding should be giving a little something nice like a special boss. Much the same way people who do all the molten front dailies get to buy there mushroom chair and junk.
And higher Ilvl item does not count as something special or nice. maybe unique models (not reskins) would count but not +10 to stam.

Azami Mido is one of first inmates of Deadman Wonderland that Ganta interacts with. She also becomes a part of the Forgeries.
Azami Mido was born in Japan and is a survivor of the Great Tokyo Earthquake. She suffered through the earthquake at the age of seven along with her parents. It wasn't long after that that Azami realized that her parents didn't care what happened to her. She found this out when she hurt herself during the Earthquake and cried, noticing how her parents had heard her but were deliberately neglecting her. It was after that she vowed to never cry again as she knew that she had to fend for herself. Azami also adopted the phrase 'I'm alright' to prove her independence to other people.
As she grew older, she became a delinquent and got involved in a motorcycle gang and donned a stereotypical outfit that went along with the gang. Her parents still did not care for her, showing their further neglect of her. Her life took a turn for the worse when her gang got into a brutal fight with another gang. Her friends could not live with what they did and panicked about going to prison. Azami declared that the two flee on a scooter as the police came, volunteering to take the blame for the deaths there. She cites she'll be alright as her friends apologize. However, no one comes to court to testify on her behalf and as a result, she is sentenced to be imprisoned in Deadman Wonderland.
Azami Mido was created by Jinsei Kataoka and Kazuma Kondou, who wrote and drew respectively, for Deadman Wonderland. She makes her first appearence in Chapter 2: Rule of Rule in the manga. She has yet to appear in the anime.
In the beginning of the series, Azami shows a soft side as she is willing to help Ganta Igarashi adapt to life in Deadman Wonderland, going as far as to buy him a sandwich. She does show morals though as she stands up for what she believes in, even if she knows it will end up hurting her. However, she has a more reversed side that she doesn't show to many people. Inside, due to the neglect by her parents, she refuses help from anyone that offers it to her. She feels that people will betray her or will not stick to her in the end.
Despite this feeling, she knows that Ganta is the only person that has ever stood up for her and helped her, a memory she keeps during her life as a Forgery. When she fights with Ganta, she still holds her belief that she can do things by herself and needs no one to help her. She finds this to be wrong as Ganta is willing to sacrifice himself in order to help her. Azami admits for the first time that she needs someone to help her as she is caught in a machine threatening to tear her arm off. After Ganta saves her, she shows a much kinder side of herself as she works with Shiro to save Ganta and will protest Shiro when she is attacked.
Azami is first introduced during Ganta's second day in Deadman Wonderland. The two meet in the lunch line as Azami notices Ganta buying an awful food ration as opposed to something more substantial. She realizes he is new to the prison and offers to buy him a sandwich on the condition she has half. The two exchange pleasantries as Azami goes on to explain the idea of rules and Cast Points to Ganta. However, when she sees how weak Ganta is when Kazusama Kouzuma bullies him into mocking an older prisoner, she rescinds her offer and chastises him, stating he is just as low.
When the Dog Race is getting started, Kouzuma begins to bully the other contestants again to the point where he tries to take them out of the race. Azami objects to his nature but he knocks her down and breaks her arm. He instructs Ganta to do the same but Ganta sticks up for Azami as he storms off to win the race. Azami watches with content, figuring that he was a different person altogether. Not much is seen of Azami after that until Takami You and Shiro are trying to get below the prison to the mysterious G-Ward where Ganta and the other deadmen are being held. They run into Azami, who's arm is still in a sling from the incident with Kouzuma, as she tells them how to get there, knowing she has to pay back Ganta for his kindness.
Azami isn't seen much after Ganta is shipped to the G-Ward and doesn't appear during the battle between the Undertakers and Scar Chain. However, Grand Chief Makina calls Azami into her office since during a stealth operation to Tamaki Tsunenaga's office, she notices Azami's name on a list of compatible blood types for some experiment. Azami doesn't think too much into it despite taking a locator watch in case Azami disappears. She and Ganta meet again as Ganta sticks up for Azami once more against a group of thugs. Soon after, she is called into the clinic by Rei Takashima to undergo treatment to be turned into an artificial deadmen called Forgeries.
With news of the Deadmen out to the public, Tamaki decides to show the world the true nature of the Deadmen by having one compete against a prisoner on death row. In reality, the Deadman was Azami, who was made into a Forgery with an altered mind to aimlessly kill with her new powers. Ganta sees this on the television, knowing it is Azami due to a band aid on her hand that he gave her when she was injured. Even though her memory is fuzzy and her abilities to control herself is altered due to the mask, she still remembers her troubled past and how Ganta was one of few people to show her kindness. She makes attempts to forget what she has gone through as she works as an enforcer for Tamaki of the Deadman, going so far as to fight them and Ganta when Tamaki instigates a fight between them to try and eradicate the deadmen. Ganta is able to devastate the arena as he saves Azami from his fellow deadmen.
Ganta goes on to infiltrate the area where Rei and Tamaki keep the Forgeries as he encounters Azami. He is able to pull off her mask as she uses her snake powers to attack him. Even though she survives, she loses her mask in a machine and attempts to get it back, still hooked on the drug it gives off and wanting to forget what she went through in life. Ganta comes back, trying to save her as her arm is threatened to be torn off. She claims to be okay but Ganta sees her crying, knowing she needs help despite her poisoning him with her powers. Azami allows him to save her as Rei and the G-Ward guards come. He hides her as he is taken to be tortured for Tamaki's pleasures and for science.
Azami encounters Senji, Chaplin, Minatsuki, and Idaki as they want revenge for what she did to them. Shiro comes to her defense, saying that Ganta believed in her and that he cares for all of them. She also reminds them that it was Tamaki that invoked their old scars and not her. They let the two go as they vow to save Ganta from the staff. As they get to where he is located, they save him from a group of Forgeries that wanted to put him in a mask. Afterwards, the forgeries and the staff begin to fight under the leadership of Makina and Kasuga Kyoko. They encounter a group that are Complete Forgeries as the Deadmen vow to take care of them as Ganta, Azami, and Shiro go after the transmitter that is controlling the Forgeries.
When they get to the transmitter, they encounter Shishito Madoka, a Complete Forgery as he is guarding the transmitter as he reveals that the transmitter was moved ages ago by Tamaki. He fights Ganta and Shiro, torturing them as Azami is paralyzed by Shishito's branch of sin. She witnesses the carnage that Shishito unleashes but is also stunned by how Shiro and Ganta are able to combine their forces to take down their sadistic captor. However, Shiro is wiped out from the battle as Ganta asks Azami to watch over her while he goes to aid Makina up above. While she does it though, Toto Sakigami arrives as the Mother Goose system goes offline, the Red Man persona taking over Shiro as she hones her power. During this time, Shiro kills Azami and beheads her. The last time Azami is seen in the series is when Ganta discovers Shiro's alternate personality and how she killed Azami.
Due to her altered genetics by Tamaki and Rei, Azami has artificial abilities as a Deadman, known as a Forgery. Like all the Forgeries, Azami has a branch of sin that allows her to manipulate her blood into a snake like creature. Her blood also contains a poison that is injected through a bite to the skin. This poison causes a person's skin to swell up from infection, bursting and brutally killing the person. Her powers are limited though due to the control that Rei is able to keep over her. When she breaks free of the mask's control, her power proves to be formidable with all the augmentations that have been put in her body.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I'm 25 years old and just found out that I'm pregnant … after having a threesome with an old fling and his roommate one drunken night. People don't know about this secret sexual life I lead, and it's truly going to rock the world of my conservative family. I'm against abortion and at a loss for how to handle this. How the hell am I supposed to tell my mother why I don't know who the father is? Do I tell the guys? Could I keep this baby and have to explain that I need a paternity test to figure it all out? I know I got myself into this mess and I fully take responsibility. I'm just in need of some guidance on how to tackle it. I want what's best for the baby. — Three's a Crowd

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
When my old router died, I bought the Linksys WRT160N. The sales folks indicated that it had enough broadcast strength to handle a typical 2 story, 2,500 sq. foot home .. so I thought I was set. Unfortunately, while the ethernet ports worked fine for hard-wired computers, wireless strength was limited, and the router does not have external antennas that can be replaced. I was not pleased.After doing some research online, I decided to buy the Netgear WN2000RPT Repeater, which is supposed to pick up your weak WIFI signal, and rebroadcast it .. while preserving your network's security.The extended ships with a simple plastic base piece (which snaps into the device), a power adapter, and a very brief, one page installation guide. It is designed to be set up using a laptop, although once you have it set up, there is no reason why you cannot use it with other WIFI devices, such a Blu-Ray player. I am not sure why, but when I powered mine up, my Network detected a LINKSYS device .. not the Netgear box. Suspecting it was really my extended, I entered its passkey and sure enough I became connected to the repeater. A little awkward, but this was really the only installation difficulty that I encountered.A simple, web-based wizard helped me to complete the configuration of the device. I set it up with WPA2 security, and would encourage others to do the same. One oddity - it will set up a second, "parallel" network to your main wireless network. You can easily set it to share your router's security method and key. If you own other Netgear equiment, it is possible to push a single button (WPS) and get connected in 2 minutes, but honestly it did not take me much longer, once I had gotten the orignal connection running smoothly.What I love about the product is the easy set up (once you've done it once), nice compact footprint, good price ($70), and the good speed I saw once this was in my network.What I think needs a little improvememt is the initial portion of the set up instructions .. I never detected "NETGEAR_EXT", but once I had found the new network, everything was simple.

Fun Camping Butt-Kits
By: Jamielyn for I Heart Naptime
Make some fun crafts for camping purposes. This craft from Jamielyn Nye is great because you can sit your butt on the bucket around the campfire or stash all your candy for a crazy time. Mod podge is required.
- 15 Gallon Bucket
- Scrap Fabric
- Mod Podge
- Batting
- Foam
- Hot Glue Gun
- Ribbon
- You start out with a 15 gallon bucket. You can get these for free at Sam's or Costco in the Bakery (frosting tubs).
- You could spray paint your bucket, but I didn't have time for that...so it stayed white.
- I found some scraps I had and measured around the bucket. Cut accordingly.
- Next you'll need some mod podge! Start in 4 inch sections (so the glue doesn't dry) and begin wrapping your fabric around, pushing all the bubbles out as you go.
- For the seat you can make it as "comfy" as you want. I used about 3 layers of batting and one layer of foam. Cut in a circle to match the lid top and hot glue together. After that is dry wrap fabric tightly around the top and tuck sides under with hot glue.
- Next comes the frill! I chose to wrap a big fat ribbon around mine and then tie little ribbons on the handle. You could tie ribbon all the way around the handle which would be super cute! You could get as creative as you'd like!
*Some readers also had some great ideas to do with these buckets... use them as storage in kids rooms, going on picnics or ball games. You can also use them as cheer leading buckets! For the lid we measured and cut out a thin piece of plywood. That we layered with foam, batting and fabric, stapling to the plywood. We then used ultra super heavy duty Velcro tape to adhere to the lid. It also allowed us to change out fabric with each season of cheer.

Please tell me, what is 'Mod Podge? I don't think we have it in England, or else it has another name.
I buy kitty litter in plastic buckets, they are not as round, but a little taller. Of course littler butts would not mind. I keep the empty buckets in my garage and they are so useful. Now another use, something to sit on while I work in my garden.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I have been looking for this (type) of pattern for AGES now. Thanks so much!! Wanted to make them as gifts for my youngest nieces and nephews. That way they would have something fun to carry all their stuff in for car rides, etc.
what's wrong with just sitting on the bucket with lid? Cover it with fabric and go camping and you'll have a dirty lid that you can't run through the wash, because it's glued on... I found a lid that's shaped for sitting upon. enough is enough....
WE made these when I was a cub scout leader, we called them sit upons.
WalMart still sells 5gal buckets, but the lid is sold separately. I never tried to ask about getting any for free, but I have seen plenty of people still getting them, along with banana crates and such. (Indiana)
A little fancy for the woods but, great for both carrying things and setting on. We used to make these for the kids to go fishing. They could put their tackle box,lunch and a sweater or sweatshirt in the bottom and have a place to set too.

The senior thesis has been a requirement of all students at Princeton University since 1926. The Mudd Manuscript Library houses 57,000 (as of 2007) theses.
A look at some thesis titles can provide a preview of students' future careers.
The Mudd Manuscript Library houses both senior theses and Ph.D. dissertations written by Princeton University students. Senior theses are listed in a dedicated database. Dissertations can be searched by using the Princeton University Library's online main catalog. The following discussion details the procedures for locating and obtaining copies of senior theses and dissertations.
Senior Theses
Class of 2013 senior theses will be available in PDF format on DataSpace on October 1, 2013.
A database listing of thousands of Princeton University senior theses dating from 1926 to 2012 is available online. It can be searched by author, words in title, department, class, and, since 1993, advisor. All senior theses must be examined in our reading room at the Mudd Library. They do not circulate.
If you cannot visit the library in person, you may request photocopies. Instructions on how to order a photocopy of a senior thesis are available here. Photoduplication fees are also available online. All orders must be prepaid and are processed in order of receipt, usually within two to three weeks. Failure to sign the form or return it with your payment will result in a delay in processing your order. For additional information on photocopying procedures and requests, please see the FAQ How do I Order Photocopies?
Ph.D. Dissertations
Princeton University Ph.D. dissertations are cataloged as books. By searching the library's main catalog you will find the call number and location for a specific dissertation. All dissertations must be examined in our reading room at the Mudd Library. They do not circulate.
Due to federal copyright law, only twenty percent of dissertations published after 1950 may be photocopied. [Note: Before 1950 the copyright law does not apply.] The process for photocopying a portion of a dissertation is the same as requesting a copy of a senior thesis. You can, however, a PDF digital or paper copy of an entire dissertation from ProQuest Information and Learning Company through UMI, 789 East Eisenhower Parkway, P.O. Box 1346, Ann Arbor, MI, 48106-1346. For fuller particulars, please visit UMI's Dissertation Services web site or call UMI's Dissertation Hotline at 800-521-0600, extension 7044. Alternatively, U.S. and Canadian residents may borrow Princeton University's dissertations through their local academic or public library's interlibrary loan service, provided a circulating copy is available. For researchers outside the U.S. and Canada, please visit the ProQuest UK web site.

I heard that, root pruning for fig tree is advised. So, have anyone kept a fig tree in a container and had to cut back the roots? If so, when is the best time, how much to cut the roots and should I do it annually?
Thank you P.S. I'm getting two five gallon Brown turkey fig trees, should I prune the roots this year or next year or is it something I should do few years later? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Root pruning is required if you wish to offer your trees at least the opportunity to grow to their genetic potential within the limiting effects of other cultural conditions. Another way of saying it is tight roots inhibit growth. Studies show that at about the time once the root mass colonizes the container to the degree that it remains intact when you lift the plant from the container, that growth is affected - permanently, unless you correct the condition. Branch extension is affected first, but there are other ill effects that also ensure the tree will be growing under stress until the root-bound conditions are corrected. Simply potting up does not remedy the problem; it simply allows the plant to temporarily grow at a level of vigor somewhat closer to normal, which most growers confuse as a 'growth spurt'. The best time to undertake root work is while the tree is dormant, and immediately before budswell (in areas where the actual soil temps may drop below freezing). In warmer areas, you might decide to repot/root-prune after the tree has become dormant/quiescent in the fall. Ficus c is very vigorous and will usually grow best if you root-prune annually, every other year if you wish to push the interval. A 'general' guide would be to remove the bottom 1/3 of the root mass with a saw, bare root the remaining roots, then remove about 1/3 of those remaining roots, concentrating on the heaviest roots and those growing directly under the trunk. Al |
Hi, i grow in containers and root prune every 3 years. Best time is when plant is dormant. Here are some links at figs4fun forum while your there browse around the forum and you can even join if you wish to. You said your getting a few 5 gallon plants, what you can do if there dormant now is slide them right out and see how root bound the roots are first if there already starting to bud i would leave them and wait till next season when they go dormant. The pictures will give you a good idea on how to root prune them. http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=3346808&highlight=root+pruning http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=4448430&highlight=root+pruning http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=4548007&highlight=root+pruning |
I had a tree that I forgot to root pruned early last season. Its growth was stunted until I pot-up(late July) from 10 gal to 20 gal. Within a very short span the tree's vigor improved & was noticeable via new branching. By the time I had to get it indoor for winterisation(Nov), I could see the aggressive roots grown into ground. There is a definite benefit in root pruning. Also, all the other trees that were root pruned had awesome growth. |
Thank you everyone with the information that you guys provided me with. It will give a better understanding on how to prune the roots and why I should do it. dieseler; Those links are very informative. Thanks once again. |

Hello all - Al - could you please explain what you mean by - Also, is there a general rule of thumb for how much of the canopy should be removed when root pruning? For Figs should the roots be as long (deep) as the tree is high? --If I'm correct I think this would contrast to other trees like pine that I've heard don't send roots very deep but send them mostly laterally in shallow soil? If I want to keep about the same height how should I root prune and if I did it that way would I expect increased vigor or do I need to prune the root and canopy significantly to get increased vigor? As always thanks for your help. Brian |
If you live where roots will be subjected to freezing temps, remove the plant from its pot while dormant, just before buds move in spring. Saw the bottom 1/3 of the root mass off with a sharp pruning saw. Remove all the soil from the roots. I use various tools that are specifically designed for root work because I repot up to 100 deciduous trees each spring, + the evergreens and tropicals that come in May and Jun/Jul, respectively. A hard, fine spray of water from the hose works well too. After the soil is removed from the remaining roots, first remove crossing roots and roots growing back toward the center of the root mass, then concentrate of removing the largest roots, especially those under the trunk. You should remove about 1/3 of the roots that were left after sawing off the bottom 1/3 of the root mass. If you do this, you will have removed about 1/2 of the o/a mass of roots. The tree will tolerate it just fine - it's very vigorous. There is no actual need to remove any of the canopy because you pruned roots or to 'balance' the canopy mass to root mass. The tree will react to the reduced ability to move water to the canopy by delaying the opening of a portion of the buds until roots recover and water supply is adequate. You can prune the canopy at the same time you root prune if it fits with your plan for the tree. You can pretty much disregard the plant's root growth habits in the garden or in situ situations when they are moved to container culture. Those plants that are normally shallow rooted in in situ situations will happily and completely colonize soil with roots, even the deepest containers. Plants like maples, rhodies, others that maintain a shallow root system do so because that's where they find air (the biggest reason) water and nutrients in greatest abundance. As long as those cultural needs are favorable in all parts of the container, the roots will grow there. Sort of like "If you build it (a good soil), they (roots) will come". A good thread with more about root-pruning. Heavy, peat-based bagged soils often impede root growth/function/metabolism and tend to cause a cyclic death and regeneration of fine roots because they hold so much perched water, so please be wary. I'll talk about stress & strain for a sec because it leads into a short discussion about the difference between what you referred to as vigor, and what is actually vitality. Sick plants are stressed plants. Stress is a condition that can be caused by interference in the plant's ability to manage or allocate energy in the manner it normally would, or by the plant operating at or near its genetically programmed limits. Stress is reversible, but if unchecked will lead to strain, a much more serious condition. Strain causes injury and is not a reversible condition. You might notice my regular use of the term 'vitality' when I write. It is actually a plant's vitality that we can hold sway over, not its vigor. 'Vigor' is constant. Mother Nature provides every plant its own, predetermined level of vigor by building it into each plant. Vigor is the genetic potential every plant is encoded with, and its measure is the plant's ability to resist stress and strain. Vitality, in contrast, is variable - a dynamic condition that is the measure of a plant's ability to cope with the hand it's dealt, culturally speaking. A good way to look at the difference between vigor and vitality is to look to genetics for the level of vigor and to things cultural for the plant's vitality. It's up to us to provide the cultural conditions that will ensure our plants' vitality. Vigor and vitality are distinctly different, and a good case could be made that they are unrelated, but there is no need to delve deeper into that point. A plant can be very vigorous and still be dying because of poor vitality. Far more often than not the term 'vigor' or 'vigorous' is misapplied, where in their stead the terms 'vital' or 'vitality' would have been more appropriate. Poor vitality is what we witness when our plants are growing under stress or strain and in decline. I would like to take a moment to express my appreciation to the late Dr. Alex Shigo for his works, which have helped distill my understanding of stress, as opposed to strain, and vitality as opposed to vigor. How to prune to keep the same height requires some planning, and will vary significantly from year to year. You'll need to allow some back-budding on the tree so the tall stem(s) can be reduced appropriately so it doesn't look like a buzz job if you want to keep it in tree-form. It would be easier for you if you allowed multiple stems and undertook a 3-year cycle of maintenance (sometimes called 'rejuvenation') pruning. Those are actual terms, so you can search them for multiple explanations of how to go about this type of pruning if you're interested. If you have more questions about pruning, I can probably help. I hope that helps. Please forgive typos/misspellings. It's late and the day started early for me. Take care. Al |
Al. How does one develop multiple stems? I have several young fig trees that I would prefer to develop into bush form. How and when can I prune to do this? And...with new cuttings....will they naturally grow in that manner? Thanks.....Dave |
Usually, the first time you cut a pant back hard, it will produce multiple basal shoots and you can thin them to whatever number you want. If you wanted to, you could just cut any tree that was growing well last fall off just above the roots and many new stems would sprout from the stump. I do things like that all the time as a step toward building taper into my bonsai trees, but I know it's hard to make yourself do it the first time. ;o) With new cuttings, it depends on how many nodes produce leaves. Usually all the buds that activate after the cutting strike turn into stems, unless you remove them. If only one leader develops, you can ensure multiple stems by removing the apical meristem (growing tip) after the stem has several leaves on it. Al |

I hope you don't mind me jumping into your post nkesh099! I am going to root prune and top prune my fig for the first time since getting it 5-6 years ago (I know, I should have done it already!). I'm pretty clear on the root pruning, and I only need to top prune it enough so that it stays a size we can handle to get it in and out of the garage for storage each winter. I was going to cut each branch back about 6-8 inches just above a "node". Is that correct? Also, mine unexpectedly started to bud! I thought I had another week or so before that would happen. They're just starting to peek out tho, so is it still ok to prune? It's way, way overdue and I think it will really suffer and maybe even die this year if I don't so I suppose I don't have much choice. It's a marsaille and it's a tree form, about 5 feet tall with a nice canopy of branches. While I'd love to get them, I don't mind if I don't get any figs this year - my main concern is keeping the tree healthy and growing for the future. Thanks so much! Lisa |
Lisa - you should remove branches en total, or you'll end up with a branch coming off each stub for every node on the stub + whatever adventitious buds develop. If you want to keep your tree in bush form, read what I said toward the end of my long post upthread about maintenance/rejuvenation pruning. Prune asap. Initially, the energy to push foliage comes from an area at the base of the bud that is rich in starches and sugars, so it won't be much of a tax on energy reserves if you remove it as the flush is just starting, but it will be if you wait. Al |

I don't want to have it change to a bush form, I want it to stay in it's current, tree form. It's just like a tree, with one, single trunk then it splits to 3-4 large branches, with a canopy of smaller branches coming off of each one of those. I was going to cut back each small branch by about half it's length, removing any that were growing wrong or rubbing. The tree is already pretty vase shaped with plenty of space in the middle of the canopy so light gets to all the branches. I was lucky that I got just about a perfectly shaped tree from the start. I assumed that, like with a rose for example, if I cut back to an outward facing node/bud, a new branch would form. Are you saying I should cut all the small branches back to the big, main branches? Then shorten each main branch a bit? I'm basically looking to reduce the overall height and canopy spread of the tree at least 8-10 inches smaller than it currently is. It's at the maximum size that we can handle as far as bringing it in every year to store in the garage and it's actually a bit too big now, which is why I'd like to reduce it down a bit. But I'm getting the impression from your post that I might end up with little "witches brooms" at the ends of the branches - is that right? Way too many small branches breaking from all these cuts? Sorry if I'm not understanding - I've been gardening for 25 years but I've had a phobia about pruning and have avoided doing it so I'm not only hesitant to do it, I'm also clueless as to how!! But this is a beautiful tree and it gives me 40-50 figs every year and I'd hate to lose it or ruin it by pruning it wrong. Thanks so much and sorry for being a pain! Lisa |
Well, it sounds like you're pretty well-versed in how your tree will respond to pruning - which is a good thing. ;o) I did misunderstand your intent. W/o seeing your tree, I think I would look at the branches near the top of the tree to see if any of those are inordinately thick and threatening to take over as the most vigorous (form the new leader) or are getting much thicker than lower branches you want to keep. If you cut those branches beck to 2 nodes, you'll slow them down. If you leave 4-6 nodes on the other branches (or a similar strategy) depending on how thick they are, you can balance the tree's energy (do it all the time on bonsai trees). Leave more nodes/buds on the lower and weaker branches because the tree is so apically dominant, and it will concentrate more than half of its energy in the upper 1/3 of the tree. So, cut back the top 1/3 of the tree extra hard, the middle 1/3 a little, and in the lower 1/3 - limit pruning to keeping the tree in bounds, unless whole branches interfere with your vision of how you want the tree to look and need to be removed. For appearance, if you allow the weaker branches to extend to a greater length than the stronger branches (through summer) before you prune them, it will fatten them up and also balance energy. Keeping the top branches in check while allowing he lower branches to extend before you prune them is a good strategy. I could show you how to do this in 10 minutes, but describing the technique isn't as easy. Hopefully, I've done well enough that you were able to understand what I said? You can share pictures if you'd like. Al |
Hello A1 and everyone for their great advice about root pruning figs, you have answered many questions for me! I just want to check one thing however, timing. Is it really bad to root prune either during the summer or autumn or does it have to be just before they start the new season's growth? I live in the north of the uk, so I am guessing this would be end of feb/ early march. Would this apply to my small olive tree also? I have always tended to repot (never root pruned) in the summer when it's warm! Thank you for help! |
It's best for evergreen/tropical figs to do any major work in the month prior to their most robust growth - usually Jun/Jul, depending on where you live. For containerized edible figs (carica): in areas where there is a possibility of freezing temperatures during dormancy/quiescence, it's best to repot, which includes bare-rooting and root pruning, in spring, just before buds move. In areas where there is no danger of freezing, repotting in fall after leaves fall is fine, as are spring repots. Al |

Hi all We have some good experts here on these postings. I have my Fig trees planted in Pots which is 8 gallons each. I put about 30 to 40 holes in the middle and lower part of the pot. Then I bury the pot in the Garden soil. Around the Month of December I dig the pot out of the ground. The way I do it I dig a circle around the pot and cut the roots traveling from the holes into the Garden soil with a knife and take the pot in the garage for winter. My question is am I pruning the roots? or do I need to do some thing more. Also I prune the branches to a manageable height Is that good? |
Root congestion and crossing/circling/girdling roots that occur once the roots have, at any point, become congested to the point that the root/soil mass can be lifted from the container intact permanently affects growth and vitality - until/unless corrected. Though you are pruning roots, you're not doing the sort of root pruning that alleviates the conditions I described or prevents them from occurring; so if you wish to ensure your tree can grow to its potential within other cultural limits, additional root work would be required.

I just purchased this cactus as well! I don't know if the tag was correct as they have been wrong in the past but it says Mini Cholla - Cylindropuntia spp. |

Athlete's Voices: Amy Zimmer, Episode 2. St. John's Volleyball
The last weekend of April, we closed our spring season at the University of Delaware. We finished strong by beating Rutgers, Princeton, and Towson! By ending the season competing well with high-level teams shows much promise for next season, especially as we are returning all of our starters and gaining incoming talented players. St. John's will be a team to watch out for!
As May blew in, so did our finals. After our team finished the fall semester with the highest G.P.A. in St. John's Athletics, standards were set high for the spring. Although most of our time was spent cramming for finals, (or recovering from dental work), we always made sure to find time for open practices and lift sessions!
Finally, it is now that time of year and summer is here! I decided to take advantage of the extra free time and attend events happening in the city. New York has so much to offer! I have attended the "Today Show" and "America's Got Talent" a couple times and made new connections to help with my career in broadcasting. Also, the NFL Draft takes place at Radio City every year and I was fortunate enough to attend on May 10th. Although it was the last rounds, I took the advantage to network and meet new people. I had an unbelievable experience. It truly shows that life is what you make of it and you have to go after opportunities, not wait for them to come to you.
It is overwhelming to know I am halfway through my college volleyball career and education. As everyone goes their own way for the summer, I'll be staying right here in Queens, New York. This will be my first full summer away from home (not to mention my first birthday without my family)! But it's all about growing up and making sacrifices to do something you love. I've given up my summer at home to chase my dreams as I begin my first job at Radio Disney as a Talent Host and to focus hard on my volleyball training!
